Long Winter Slipper socks

In today’s post I’d like to share a picture of some LONG slipper socks I recently made. I picked this yarn coz I liked the colour way, I’ve since found out that Tweed is all the rage at the moment. Coo get me, cozy and in fashion, that’s a first! Just in time for the cold snap, weather people say snow is on its way! {Update came down this morning & there is a ducting of snow on the ground and more forcast for this afternoon}

The original pattern was Non Felted Slippers from Ravelry by Yuko Nakamura, which I loved and have made as the pattern suggested before but I get very cold in the winter and have previously added a few rows of 2×2 rib to make them into ankle boots. This time I went OTT and added 50 rows of the 2 x 2 rib to give almost knee-high slipper socks.

Perfect for curling up on sofa in the evening, no more gap between slippers and ends of my trousers ;)

Ooh you have become a dedicated follower of fashion :) Gorgeous socks, love that colour and they do look cozy. It is darn cold, I am sat at the computer with a fleece blanket around my legs and my feet on a hot water bottle lol.

The slipper socks are nice n cozy, no lower leg gaps for the drafts to attack hehehe. We’ve been having quite a discussion over on the Pheonix forums about how to tackle the issue of adding some kind of outer sole to them.

Don’t mention hot water bottles, I’m struggling my way through knitting a cover for one and its being a bit of a battle of wills at the moment. If it wasn’t for a gift I’d have given up. Stay warm, did you get much snow?
